SubZero

I bought a used 70-200 F2.8L & was out trying it out when I saw this horse. I shot it wide open at 2.8 @ 200mm to see the results on my cropped sensor 70D. The lens passed the test, looks brand new and operates well and saved me a lot of cash. The horse was backlit so I had to turn the shadows all the way up in LR

 

 

While I was taking many shots, I noticed every now and then the horse would expel a large volume of air causing a mist due to the low temps. I wanted to catch this along with an attractive body position.

 

I was talking to him, making odd sounds and trying to keep his attention.

 

This photo was the one I liked the best. It was about 8 below zero F, when I took this. Did you know, horses and cattle can withstand almost any temperature so long as they have food, water and a little selter from the wind.

 

Thanks in advance for any comments or favs.
